No one has commented, so I'll continue with my thoughts...John Ingalls said the following in 1988/1989

"There has been an over-stressing and distortion of the teaching concerning deputy authority, which has caused the saints to be fearful to follow their conscience, to be one with their spirit, and sometimes to speak their genuine concerns."

The same has held true since the time John spoke it. It is this over-stressing and distortion why so-called deputy and delegated authority has resulted in prideful brothers. Can never be wrong. Can never apologize. If you or I have an issue with a deputy or delegated authority, it's considered a "perceived wrongdoing"
It's this perverted distortion of deputy authority teaching that has callused the heart from any potential humility.
